I just finished 3+ plus weeks working with my classes on writing their first literary critical paper. The rough draft is due on Monday. Because I have a set of laptops in my class (cheap and crappy though they are), my kids are able to work on every step of the paper-writing process in class. Lots of interaction ensues, and often I can just look at their computer screens and give them credit for finishing one part of the process -- sweet!
I'm also trying to finish a previous set of compositions to return before they turn in their final draft of the critical paper -- this is the first time I've ever cut it this close in terms of having a composition graded before they turn in the next one. Yikes!
Bob is in Texas right now; he'll be home next weekend for a trip to NYC to see a Rudin-produced play and have dinner at our new favorite New York restaurant, Colicchio and Sons.
